I have heard about a possible extension for mobile web sites (sites which are specially made for mobile phones).

The extension in discussion seems to be .mobi.
The special extension is a good idea as it will clearly be a \"mobile\" specific website.

However, it will be very difficult for a user to type in the extension \"mobi\" even using several smartphones.

I suggest:

1. The extension should be .mwe or .mwb (mobile web) and it can be typed in by pressing the \"6\" and the \"9\" keys one after another followed by double press of \"2\" or \"3\" keys. It will be more handy than the .mobi extension :)

2. Mobile phones should have shortcuts built in to type the accepted extension with a special key combination!

What do you think?
